Phish — 8 Years Ago Today…

Remember how weird it was when it started to sink in that Phish wasn’t playing a New Years show? Heck, they weren’t even playing a spring tour and they were calling it a “hiatus”? Come on, when are they really coming back. Those guys can’t stay off of the stage! They love playing together too much.

Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA

Set I: First Tube, Mike’s Song > I am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove, Fee, Bathtub Gin, Glide, My Soul
Set II: Twist > 2001 > Tweezer, Wading in the Velvet Sea, Meatstick, David Bowie, Tweezer Reprise
Encore: You Enjoy Myself
Show Notes: Meatstick included the Japanese lyrics. Appropriately, given the pending extended break from touring, the pre-show music closed with The Rolling Stones’ The Last Time and the post-show music was The Beatles’ Let it Be. During the post-show, the crowd gave the crew a standing ovation as they packed the band’s gear.
